The wider storm

The Mississippi River crested in April 2001 at levels second only to the all-time flood of record, which occurred in April 1965. In spite of the river slowly receding, water levels remained above flood stage, resulting in continued flooding until the middle of May. Numerous homes and businesses were damaged due to the flood waters. This resulted in Wabasha, Winona and Houston County receiving federal disaster relief funds.
